Feeling sick | F | 25 | 7 days 500mg 4X day | 12/5/2021 | 1 | Campylobacter infection | Felt fine for the first 2 days, however on day 3 about 20 mins after taking it I started to experience extreme stomach cramps and diarrhoea which burned. The pain gradually got worse and my blood pressure sky rocketed to 120/140 with heart rate of 140 bpm. Lying in bed, in too much pain to sleep, I went to the bathroom when I was overcome with a wave of ice cold sensations throughout my body. I honestly was terrified I was dying. Within a minute or so I was violently throwing up, around 20-30 times. I feel a little better now that I've vomited but the pain is still very intense. | My family and I have been suffering with campylobacter food poisoning for the past 4 weeks. All three of us were prescribed erythromycin but I'm the only one who has side effects so far. Will not be touching them with a barge pole again. Never felt so ill in my life. | F | 29 | 7 days 4X day | 10/29/2021 | 1 | Ear infection | Allergic to penicillin so prescribed this. Never felt so ill. Stomach cramps, diarrhoea and sickness.

Sweating, flushed face. | I have had this drug before for many things and I've usually been prescribed 250mg 4 times per day. This time over been prescribed double that.. I feel absolutely dreadful. I wake to feed my newborn and sit there feeling sick then wake again half an hour after dropping off and actually go to be sick. Could really do without this. I'm going to have to stop taking it over the weekend I can't cope with this. All of this for an infection I may or may not have! And even if I do, it's potentially the wrong antibiotic for it. | F | 28 | 2 days 500mg 4X day | 9/24/2021 | 1 | Tooth Abcess | I took my first dose of 2 ,250mg ,4 times a day on the evening ,then continued the next day ,lunchtime i started getting severe cramping ,by 1am i was rushed to hospital with severe stomach pains ,up to my chest ,could barely breath ,4 days on i still havnt ate much or drank much ,horrible tablets | F | 47 | 2 days 500 4X day | 7/30/2021 | 1 | Dental abscess | Severe stomach cramps, upset stomach, dizzy, feeling sick, chest pains | Took one and already severe cramping avoid like the plaque take metrodonzle instead | F | 36 | 7 days 250mg 4X day | 6/28/2021 | 1 | scalp condition | the worst pains near heart and in stomach. been vomiting all the time. nausea never goes and somehow i'm insanely hungry but also can't eat at the same time. | F | 20 | 7 days 2000 4X day | 5/29/2021 | 1 | Sinus infection | Never felt so ill.

Am told this is normal! Cannot understand why you would wish this on anyone. My dentist is not allowed to prescribe a different drug apart from penicillin. | F | 73 | 2 days 250mg 4X day | 4/8/2021 | 1 | Perioral dermatitis | Indigestion, unbearable stomach cramps, chest pain, diarrhea, fatigue, nausea, back pain | The first day of taking these was fine, but on the second day after my second dose I started to feel a burning in my stomach like indigestion. A herbal tea calmed it a little but then after my third dose I felt the most painful stomach cramps ever. I was doubled up in pain all night and also had a horrible pain in my chest and back. I didn't take my last dose and the stomach pains had subsided by morning but felt like I had done ten rounds in a boxing match. Will not take these again. | F | 27 | 2 days 500mg 4X day | 2/12/2021 | 1 | Infection under tooth and in gum | Loss of appetite but feeling hungry and empty tummy. Painful stomach ache, feeling sick, so tired, feeling SO queasy. Add this on to the truly awful gum and jaw pain and I've had 3 wretched days feeling ill and rotten. Now easing but not convinced it's fighting or getting rid of infection as still have sore jaw and face. | F | 68 | 5 days 500mg 4X day | 2/6/2021 | 1 | Wisdom tooth infection | Dizziness, feeling like I can't get up, nausea, slurred speech, very very unwell | I would honestly rip out my own tooth rather than take this antibiotic! I don't understand how this is able to be prescribed. I took one days worth and have genuinely never felt as ill in my life. With two children I physically can not get up at the fear of passing out! | F | 29 | 5 days 500mg 4X day | 1/21/2021 | 1 | Untreated tooth infection | Throat feels like its closing up,feeling the need to puke but cant, no apptetite, slight diarrhea, trouble swallowing,pills keep getting caught in throat, frequent urination,dizzy off on, shaky, back aches and extreme tiredness and insomnia, weird thoughts and bad dreams,hair falling out,depressed, hunger pains | I have been on it 8 days and have been to hospital 4x since taking them and had to have an endoscopy which was told couldn't find anything wrong. My throat is more sore now and Im hungry but food gets caught in throat too. I need to vomit whats caught in Throat but 2 fingers isint doing it.
